âPregnant During a Pandemicâ sounds like a TV movie, but it was a real-life experience for Sarah Bullis, a first-time mom who faced the added anxiety of working in a hospitalâand potentially being exposed to COVID-19âwhile her baby developed.
Bullis and her husband, Justin, a professional firefighter, found out in February they were expecting. A month later, the pandemic had crisscrossed the globe, and the front-line workers had to consider the safety of their unborn child, as well as themselves, as they went about their daily duties.
Sheâs a radiologic technologist and supervisor in the Interventional Radiology and Cath Lab at Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center. She routinely assists doctors and nurses who diagnose and treat various problems, such as clogged arteries.
